There is salty water, such as the salt mine water of the Ostrava-Karvina detrity, in the Czech Republic, characterized by their high mineralization. Detrity water negatively affects most organisms and influence their growth processes. After long-term research, general phytoremediation ability has been found in reed. The phytoremediation ability has also been tested in laboratory conditions, by building hydroponic systems. For 8 months, hydroponics was being watered with saline and nutrient solutions "Hydroponex" a...

Romania has realized that potential risks arising from anthropogenic activities with a possible significant impact on human health, soil quality, groundwater and surface water. Therefore concerns for soil protection, sustainable use of its conservation and restoration capacity where possible / necessary to its fulfillment as many functions show a significant upward trend. In the process of harmonizing national policies with the European Union policies and transposing and implementing EU rules and regulations, the ...

Toxic metal pollution of waste waters and soils is a major environmental problem, and most conventional remediation approaches do not provide acceptable solutions. The new technologies, phytoextraction, phytoaccumulation, and phytostabilization, make it possible to achieve an effective in-situ reduction of toxic load, especially by choosing suitable plants that have the desired properties. From the rhizosphere of ruderal plants growing on the decontamination area of industrial waste in Ostrava, bacteria with presu...

The protection of natural resources such as soil, water, and biodiversity are of greatest challenges in European Union Bioeconomy Strategy. According to the European Commission there are more than 2.5 million potentially contaminated sites and more than 0.3 million contaminated sites in Europe. Soil remediation is important and gentle technologies such as phytoremediation are more and more appropriate regarding new environmentally friendly actions paradigms. The aim of this research is to show successful Triple he...

The Baltic Sea is suffering from extended surplus of phosphorus, nitrogen and other pollutants. It causes diminishing biodiversity and increased eutrophication (mainly due to nitrogen and phosphorous in various substances). The common effort in the region is environmental standpoint in sustainable circular economy. Oil pollutants, heavy metals, organic substances are being released to the Baltic Sea and consequences for maritime environment are serious. However, Baltic Sea Region is one of the most innovative regi...
